Leading the way are three zip codes where home prices have appreciated at least 27% and the main property type is detached single-family homes:
- 22066 -- Home to Great Falls and Shady Oak in Virginia and runs along the Potomac River.
- 20814 -- The Maryland zip code that includes downtown Bethesda and the areas just to the north.
- 20817 -- The Bethesda zip code just adjacent to 20814.
Rounding out the top five are two DC zip codes where home prices appreciated 25% -- 20015, home to Chevy Chase DC, Barnaby Woods and Friendship Heights; and 20037, home to West End and Foggy Bottom.
